- Multiple cropping means growing two or more crops on the same piece of land in a single year (in sequence or together), making fuller use of the land and the growing seasons.
Advantages:
- Maintains soil fertility — legumes/pulses in the rotation fix nitrogen and restore nutrients that cereals remove, reducing the need for fertilisers.
- Fuller use of land and higher output — more crops per year raise total production and income. …
